FCC approves Nokia N96

Yes, it means that Nokia N96 was approved to be sold in the USA. Federal Communications Commission holds all the information related to future mobile phone releases and is also charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, satellite or cable and wire.

All this means is that we are one more step closer to Nokia N96 official release at USA. Will iPhone have true competition? Ore N96 is just one more toy? Will the INNOV8 crush it?

Nokia N96 supports the Ovi family of Nokia internet services, including maps, music, media sharing and more, it has a 5 megapixel camera and GPS and more stuff. Do we have from our readers any insider information regarding the release date for USA?

N96 not released! Was it a lie?

Not at all… We were really confident that the release date was going to be 7th May. Turns out that we were maybe too optimistic. Truth is that we had a media launch that day, but that was it, not a shipping date or a retail date. Although in this conference with Nokia we managed to dig the true shipping date, or should I say…shipping week?

Two days for N96 to release!

Yes it’s only two more days before the Nokia N96 releases to the market. As I said previously, this should be the final media release, which means that in few weeks it will hit the markets. It only depends on national regulators, networks, and logistics on the date of release to the public, all retailers usually differ.

Stay tuned to our upcoming review. For now you can appreciate Mobile-Review’s Eldar’s review.

N96, N78, N82 Black release date confirmed! - exclusive

We had a close talk with someone inside Nokia, and we got a confirmation on the launch date! The best thing is that it’s not one device being officially launched, it’s three, and that should be the minimum.

Nokia usually launches them in fours, ironic, as this digit is considered bad luck in some countries.

Nokia N96 release date

My friend Devin Ballentina has posted what he thinks is the release date for the Nokia N96 smartphone. He believes that the date marketed over Mobile City, 7th May, is the realistic one.

The truth is that Nokia doesn’t have to hide it anymore, as the product is official. Unfortunately there is no official price tag or network deals on it, or even leaks on networks for that matter. The price on the website seems to be a bit higher than the one given to the Nokia N95 on it’s release, currently it’s set to $799, and that’s with a $100 discount.

The only price we have from Nokia is without taxes or subsidies, which is $550, relatively cheap compared to the one at Mobile City, but this price is only set for a release in Q3, which is quite late if Nokia wants to throw out the competition.
